   Mozilla Firefox is, unfortunately, likely to be bankrupt soon. 🤯

   Google was labeled a monopoly (found guilty in court of being one). It is likely that the court will rule that Google can no longer pay to be someone's default search, which is what they were doing with Apple (22 Billion yearly) and Mozilla (450 million). Unfortunately for Mozilla, that accounts for 81% of their annual (yearly) revenue.

     • Vivaldi

     @Linux_Is_Awesome @Vivaldi is wonderful. Absolutely love it. I have fondness for Firefox but I think things are not in a great place.

     I would recommend, Vivaldi Browser.

     Yes, Vivaldi Browser is based off of the open source code, chromium, but it does not follow Google's lead, supporting both v2 and v3 browser extensions (meaning uBlock will still work). Vivaldi, includes their own ad and tracker blocker, is not owned and managed by an ad company, and is the ONLY web browser to be A.I. free (does not include an AI).

     The latest version, 6.9, even added support to ensure uBlock will continue to work.

     Additionally, Mozilla is now an ad company, and embedded a "feature" (enabled by default) that tracks ad performance even if you have an ad blocker (uBlock, for example). Worse still, the development build of Firefox (Firefox Nightly) now has artificial intelligences (A.I.) incorporated into Firefox.
